CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.

The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This report and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these assumptions and matters discussed elsewhere herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the following:


our ability to maintain or develop new and existing customer relationships with major refined product importers and exporters, major crude oil companies and major commodity traders, including our ability to enter into long-term charters for our vessels;


our future operating and financial results;


oil and chemical tanker industry trends, including charter rates and vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand;


our ability to integrate into our fleet any newbuildings we may order in the future and the ability of shipyards to deliver vessels on a timely basis;


the aging of our vessels and resultant increases in operation and drydocking costs;


the ability of our vessels to pass classification inspections and vetting inspections by oil majors and big chemical corporations;

significant changes in vessel performance, including increased vessel breakdowns;


the creditworthiness of our charterers and the ability of our contract counterparties to fulfill their obligations to us;


our ability to repay outstanding indebtedness, to obtain additional financing and to obtain replacement charters for our vessels, in each case, at commercially acceptable rates or at all;


changes to governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities and the expected costs thereof;




potential liability from litigation and our vessel operations, including discharge of pollutants;


changes in general economic and business conditions;


general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, political events or acts by terrorists;


changes in production of or demand for oil and petroleum products and chemicals, either globally or in particular regions;


the strength of world economies and currencies, including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel values;


potential liability from future litigation and potential costs due to any environmental damage and vessel collisions;


the length and severity of the recent coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and its impact on the demand for commercial seaborne transportation and the condition to the financial markets; and


other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2019
The following management's discussion and analysis is intended to discuss our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, and should be read in conjunction with our historical unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this filing. For additional background information please see our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, on April 10, 2020.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those set forth in the section "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Commission, on April 10, 2020.
Overview
We are an international owner and operator of modern, fuel efficient eco medium range, or MR, tanker vessels focusing on the transportation of crude oil, petroleum products (clean and dirty) and bulk liquid chemicals. As of June 30, 2020, our fleet consists of eight 50,000 dwt product/chemical tankers, M/T Stenaweco Energy, the M/T Stenaweco Evolution, the M/T Stenaweco Excellence, M/T Nord Valiant, the M/T Eco California, M/T Eco Marina Del Ray, M/T Eco Los Angeles and M/T Eco City of Angels and two 159,000 dwt Suezmax tankers, the M/T Eco Bel Air and M/T Eco Beverly Hills. We also own 50% interests in two 50,000 dwt product/chemical tankers, M/T Eco Yosemite Park and M/T Eco Joshua Park. Finally, we also have three newbuilding contracts for three 50,000 dwt product/chemical tankers, the M/T Eco Van Nuys, the M/T Eco Santa Monica and the M/T Eco Venice Beach, and two newbuilding contracts for two scrubber-fitted suezmax tankers, the M/T Eco West Coast and the M/T Eco Malibu.
We intend to continue to review the market in order to identify potential acquisition targets on accretive terms.
We believe we have established a reputation in the international ocean transport industry for operating and maintaining vessels with high standards of performance, reliability and safety. We have assembled a management team comprised of executives who have extensive experience operating large and diversified fleets of tankers and who have strong ties to a number of national, regional and international oil companies, charterers and traders.
Non-US GAAP Measures

This report describes Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), which is not a measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP (i.e., a “Non-US GAAP” measure). We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other operating loss, operating lease expenses, vessel impairments, gains on sale of vessels and gains/losses on derivative financial instruments.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. This is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of interest, gain/loss on financial instruments, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other operating losses, operating lease expenses, gains on sale of vessels and vessel impairments, and which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods and other items that the Company believes are not indicative of the ongoing performance of its core operations.
This Non-U.S. GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. GAAP.

Period in Period Comparison of Operating Results


1.
Revenues
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, Revenues increased by $2.8 million, or 9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was mainly due to an increase of $7.7 million in revenues from M/T Eco California, M/T Eco Marina Del Rey, M/T Eco Bel Air and M/T Eco Beverly Hills that we took delivery and started operating from January to May 2019 and an increase of $4.8 million in revenues from M/T Eco Los Angeles and M/T Eco City of Angels that we took delivery and started operating in February 2020. These increases were offset by a decrease of $9.7 million in revenues from the vessels we sold in 2020 (namely: M/T’s Eco Revolution, Eco Fleet, Stenaweco Elegance and Eco Palm Desert).

2.
Voyage expenses
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, Voyage expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 45%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease of $0.6 million in port expenses and another decrease of $0.8 million in bunkers both relating to the spot employment of M/T Eco Fleet in the 1st half of 2019 absent in 2020. These decreases were offset by an increase of $0.4 million in bunkers of two of our sold vessels relating to the delivery of the vessels to their new owners resulting from a drop in the oil prices in the first quarter of 2020.

3.
Vessel depreciation
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our vessel depreciation increased by $1.9 million, or 35%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is mainly attributed to an increase of $1.1 million in depreciation expenses of M/T Stenaweco Energy and M/T Stenaweco Evolution that we purchased in November 2019, an increase of $1.7 million in depreciation expenses of M/T Eco California, M/T Eco Marina Del Rey, M/T Eco Bel Air and M/T Eco Beverly Hills that we took delivery and started depreciating from January to May 2019 and an increase of $1.1 million in depreciation expenses of M/T Eco Los Angeles and M/T Eco City of Angels that we took delivery and started depreciating in February 2020. These increases were offset by a decrease of $2.0 million in depreciation expenses of the vessels we sold in 2020.

4.
Management fees—related parties
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, management fees to related parties increased by $3.4 million, or 306%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was due to $3.4 million of sale and purchase commissions as per our management agreement with Central Shipping Inc (“CSI”), a related party affiliated with the family of Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, that were absent in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

5.
Gain on sale of vessels
On January 14, January 21, February 21 and March 19, 2020 we sold the M/T Eco Revolution, M/T Eco Fleet, M/T Stenaweco Elegance and M/T Eco Palm Desert, respectively, to unaffiliated third parties.  As a result of the abovementioned sales we recognized a gain from the disposal of vessels amounting to $5.3 million (please see the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 – "Note 14 - Gain on sale of vessels" included elsewhere in this document).

6.
Other operating loss
In connection with sale of vessels noted above on January 15, January 21 and March 9, 2020 we terminated the time charters of M/T Eco Fleet, M/T Stenaweco Elegance and M/T Eco Palm Desert and incurred time charter termination fees amounting to $0.5 million, $1.9 million and $1.7 million respectively.

7.
Interest and finance Costs
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, interest and finance costs increased by $2.6 million, or 33%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is mainly attributed to:

a)
An increase of $1.9 million in loan interest expense, due to the following:

a.
$1.9 million increase in interest expense due to the fact that in the six months ended June 2020 we incurred interest expense for the whole six month period for the vessels delivered in March, April and May of 2019 (namely M/T’s: Eco Marina Del Rey, Eco Bel Air, Eco Beverly Hills).

b.
$1.2 million of interest expenses from the OFI Facility we entered into for the purchase of the M/T Stenaweco Energy and M/T Stenaweco Evolution entered into in November 2019.

c.
$1.6 million of interest expense relating to the AVIC Facility we entered into to finance the delivery of our new vessels in February 2020.



Offset by

a.
$0.8 million decrease in interest expense of Top Ships Inc, mainly due to the fact that during the six months ended June 30, 2019 we incurred $0.9 million of interest expense from the Amended and Restated Family Trading Credit Facility, absent in the respective period of 2020, since the facility was terminated in March 2019.

b.
$2.0 million decrease in interest expense relating to the vessels we sold in 2020.

b)
An increase of $1.0 million in acceleration of amortization of deferred finance fees mainly due to the fact that in the six months ended June 30, 2020 we accelerated the amortization of the unamortized balance of deferred financing fees of the AT Bank Facility, the AT Bridge Note, the ABN Facility and the Alpha Bank & Alpha Bank Top-Up facilities ($1.2 million) due to their prepayment in 2020, while in the same period of 2019 we accelerated the amortization of the unamortized balance of deferred financing fees ($0.2 million) of Tranche C of the ABN facility due to its refinancing in January 2019.

c)
An offsetting decrease of $0.3 million in amortization of debt discount mainly due to the fact that in the six months ended June 30, 2019 we recognized debt discount amortization relating to the convertibility features of the Family Trading Loan amounting to $0.3 million, absent in the respective period of 2020.

8.
Gain/(loss) on derivative financial instruments
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, fair value gain/(loss) on derivative financial instruments decreased by $2.3 million, or 157%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly to due to $1.3 of swap termination losses due to the unwinding of our ABN and Alpha Bank swaps due to the prepayment of the respective loan facilities and due to the fact that in the six months ended June 30, 2020 we had no gains from the valuation of our 2014 Warrants (which expired in July 2019), while in the respective period of 2019 we recognized $1.6 million of gains. These losses were partially offset by a fair value gain on derivative financial instruments of $0.5 million from the valuation of our Class B Warrants we recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Recent and Other Developments
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the recent novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic. In response to the pandemic, many countries, ports and organizations, including those where the Company conducts a large part of its operations, have implemented measures to combat the pandemic, such as quarantines and travel restrictions. Such measures have caused and will likely continue to cause severe trade disruptions. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our results of operations and financial condition, including possible vessel impairments, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain or treat its impact, among others. Accordingly, an estimate of the impact cannot be made at this time.
On April 17, 2020 our 50% subsidiary, Eco Nine Pte., concluded the previously announced sale of its 100% owned vessel, M/T Palm Springs.
On April 24, 2020 we acquired from a company affiliated with our Chief Executive Officer, a 50% interest in two vessel owning companies that owned two eco MR product tankers (please see the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 – "Note 13 - Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures" included elsewhere in this document).
On May 8 and on May 29, 2020, we acquired from a company affiliated with our Chief Executive Officer five Marshall Island companies that owned newbuilding contracts for the construction of three eco MR product/chemical tankers and two eco Suezmax tankers (please see the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 – "Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and General Information" included elsewhere in this document).
On February 12 and March 11 2020, we, entered into two equity distribution agreements, or as is commonly known, at-the-market offerings (“ATM”s). We completed all sales under both ATMs during February and March 2020 out of which we received gross proceeds of $10.0 million and issued 2,693,191 common shares. On March 30, April 15, April 27, April 28, May 14, May 19, June 7, June 10, June 14, June 23 and July 6 2020, we completed registered direct offerings for the sale of an aggregate of 36,723,765 common shares for gross proceeds of $119.7 million (please see the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 – "Note 9 -Common Stock, Additional Paid-In Capital and Dividends" included elsewhere in this document).
On August 7, 2020, we announced we would effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of our common stock in order to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. There will be no change in the number of our authorized common shares. All numbers of share and earnings per share amounts, as well as warrant shares eligible for purchase under our warrants, exercise price of said warrants and conversion prices of our Series E Shares, in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split. The reverse stock split is expected to be effective on August 10, 2020.


B.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our formation, our principal sources of funds have been equity provided by our shareholders through equity offerings or at the market sales, operating cash flow, long-term borrowing and short-term borrowings. Our principal use of funds has been capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations and fund working capital requirements.
Our business is capital intensive and its future success will depend on our ability to maintain a high-quality fleet through the acquisition of newer vessels and the selective sale of older vessels. Our practice has been to acquire vessels using a combination of funds received from equity investors and bank debt secured by mortgages on our vessels.  Future acquisitions are subject to management's expectation of future market conditions, our ability to acquire vessels on favorable terms and our liquidity and capital resources.
As of June 30, 2020, we had an indebtedness of $ 278.7 million, which after excluding unamortized financing fees amounts to total indebtedness $ 285.4 million (please see the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 – "Note  - Debt" included elsewhere in this document).
As of June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalent balances amounted to $11.6 million, held in U.S. Dollar accounts, $6.0 million of which are classified as restricted cash.
Working Capital Requirements and Sources of Capital
As of June 30, 2020, we had a working capital deficit (current assets less current liabilities) of $20.6 million and commitments for capital expenditures amounting to $39.0 million payable in 2020 and $170.8 million payable in 2021. In addition the capital expenditures noted above are non-recourse to us as the commitments are made by wholly owned subsidiaries whose performance is guaranteed by Central Mare Inc, a related party affiliated with the family of Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis. We have no undrawn portions under our financing facilities.
We estimate that our operating cash flow for the remainder of 2020 will increase compared to the same period in 2019, as we believe the cash contribution of our two new vessels (M/T’s Eco Los Angeles and Eco City of Angels) will counter the loss of the four vessels we sold in 2020 (M/T’s Eco Fleet, Eco Revolution, Stenaweco Elegance and Eco Palm Desert) since the former are employed in more profitable time charters.
In our opinion, will be able to finance our working capital deficit and unfinanced capital commitments in the next 12 months with cash on hand, operational cash flow, debt or equity issuances, or a combination thereof. If we are unable to arrange debt or equity financing, it is probable that we may also consider selling operating vessels or shipbuilding contracts (please see the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 – "Note 3 - Going Concern" included elsewhere in this document).
Cash Flow Information
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $2.7 million and $5.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2020 respectively.
Net Cash from Operating Activities.
Net cash by operating activities decreased by $10.2 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to a net outflow of $0.3 million, compared to a net inflow of $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Net Cash from Investing Activities.
Net cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $11.3 million, consisting of $109.6 million net proceeds from sale of vessels and $19.6 million from the sale of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures (2017 Joint Venture (please see the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 – "Note 13 - Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures" included elsewhere in this document), offset by $90.9 million of cash paid for advances for vessels under construction and $27.0 million of cash paid for Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures (2020 Joint Venture).

Net Cash from Financing Activities.
Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $12.7 million, consisting of, $113.8 million of proceeds from equity offerings and $60.2 million of proceeds from long term debt.

These inflows were partially offset by $81.7 of prepayments of long term debt, $60.9 million for consideration paid in excess of purchase price over book value of vessels, $24.6 million redemptions of Series E Shares, $9.5 million of scheduled debt repayments, $7.5 million of equity offering related costs, $1.4 million from the termination of Interest rate swaps and $1.1 million payments of financing costs.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 10, 2020.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the recent novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak a pandemic. In response to the pandemic, many countries, ports and organizations, including those where the Company conducts a large part of its operations, have implemented measures to combat the pandemic, such as quarantines and travel restrictions. Such measures have caused and will likely continue to cause severe trade disruptions. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition, including possible vessel impairments, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain or treat its impact, among others. Accordingly, an estimate of the impact cannot be made at this time.

On May 6, 2020, the Company acquired for $18,000 from a company affiliated with the Company's CEO and President, Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, a 100% ownership interest in three Marshall Island companies that each had a newbuilding contract for the construction of one scrubber-fitted 50,000 dwt eco MR product/chemical tanker, all currently under construction in Hyundai Mipo shipyard in South Korea, with attached time charters. The vessels, M/T Eco Van Nuys (Hull No 2789), M/T Eco Santa Monica (Hull No 2790) and M/T Eco Venice Beach (Hull No 2791) are scheduled to be delivered in the first quarter of 2021. Each of the three product tankers have time charters with Central Tankers Chartering Inc, a company affiliated with Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, for a firm term of five years plus two additional optional years (Note 5). Of the consideration payable, $16,850 was paid in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the remaining $1,150 is included in Due to related parties in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On May 28, 2020, the Company acquired for $22,000 from a company affiliated with Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, or the Suezmax Seller, a 50% ownership interest in two Marshall Island companies (the "SPVs") that each had a newbuilding contract for the construction of one scrubber-fitted 157,000 dwt eco Suezmax tanker, M/T Eco West Coast (Hull No 865) and M/T Eco Malibu (Hull No 866), both currently under construction in Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard in South Korea, with attached time charters. The two tankers are scheduled to be delivered in February and May 2021 respectively. The Company had the option to acquire the other 50% ownership interest in both vessels from the Seller at the same price until July 15, 2020. On June 18, 2020, the Company exercised both purchase options for a consideration of $22,000. Upon their delivery, both vessels will enter into time charters with a major oil trader, for a firm term of three years plus two additional optional years. The full amount of the consideration was paid in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Each of the abovementioned acquisitions was approved by a special committee of the Company's board of directors (the "Special Committee"), of which all of the directors were independent and for each acquisition the Special Committee obtained a fairness opinion relating to the consideration of each transaction from an independent financial advisor. The Company accounted for the abovementioned acquisitions as a transfer of assets between entities under common control and has recognized the vessels at their historical carrying amounts at the date of transfer.

(Expressed in thousands of United States Dollars – except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

The amount of the consideration given in excess of the historical carrying value of the net assets acquired in the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to $62,000 and is recognized as a reduction to the Company's additional paid in capital and presented as Excess of consideration over the carrying value of acquired assets in the Company's accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity

On August 7, 2020, the Company announced it would effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of its common stock in order to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. There will be no change in the number of authorized common shares of the Company, or the floor price of the Company's Series E Shares, or the number of votes of the Company's Series D Shares. All numbers of common share and earnings per share amounts, as well as warrant shares eligible for purchase under the Company's warrants, exercise price of said warrants and conversion prices of the Company's Series E Shares, in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-25  reverse stock split. The reverse stock split is expected to be effective on August 10, 2020.


2.
Significant Accounting Policies:

A discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in the Company's annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 which have been filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 20-F on April 10, 2020. There have been no changes apart from the below to these policies in the six months ended June 30, 2020.


3.
Going Concern:

At June 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $20,584 and cash and cash equivalents of $11,611 (inclusive of restricted cash) and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 incurred a net loss of $2,868 and had a negative cash flow from operations of $278. In addition as of June 30, 2020, the Company via the wholly owned subsidiaries had remaining contractual commitments to the shipyard for the vessels under construction, totaling $209,777, of which $15,516 is payable in the third quarter of 2020, $23,517 in the fourth quarter of 2020, $85,030 in the first quarter of 2021 and $85,714 in the second quarter of 2021. All of the amount payable in the third quarter of 2020 has been settled as of the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company had no committed undrawn loan facilities as of June 30, 2020.

The Company expects to finance its working capital deficit with cash on hand, and operational cash flow to be generated based on the contracted chartered agreements. The Company intends to finance its capital commitments with equity issuances and with debt financing. Based on ongoing discussions with different financing institutions, the Company believes that it will be able to obtain a portion of the necessary financing and the Company has a track record of successfully financing its vessel purchases. If the Company is unable to arrange any debt or equity financing, it is probable that the Company may also consider selling operating vessels or shipbuilding contracts. In addition the capital commitments noted above are non-recourse to the Company as the commitments are made by wholly owned subsidiaries whose performance is guaranteed by Central Mare Inc, a related party affiliated with the family of Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis.

Therefore, the Company believes it has the ability to continue as a going concern and finance its obligations as they come due over the next twelve months following the date of the issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Consequently, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Commitments and Contingencies:

Legal proceedings:

Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. As part of the normal course of operations, the Company's customers may disagree on amounts due to the Company under the provision of the contracts which are normally settled through negotiations with the customer. Disputed amounts are normally reflected in revenues at such time as the Company reaches agreement with the customer on the amounts due.

On August 1, 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting certain documents and information in connection with offerings made by the Company between February 2017 and August 2017. The Company provided the requested information to the SEC in response to that subpoena. On September 26, 2018 and on October 5, 2018 the Company received two additional subpoenas from the SEC requesting certain documents and information in connection with the previous subpoena the Company received on August 1, 2017. The Company provided the requested information to the SEC in response to these subpoenas. The SEC investigation is ongoing and the Company continues to cooperate with the SEC in its investigation. The Company is unable to predict what action, if any, might be taken by the SEC or its staff as a result of this investigation or what impact, if any, the cost of responding to the SEC's investigation or its ultimate outcome might have on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Hence the Company has not established any provision for losses relating to this matter.

On August 23, 2017, a purported securities class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (No. 2:17-cv-04987(JFB)(SIL)) by Christopher Brady on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated against (among other defendants) the Company and two of its executive officers. The complaint is brought on behalf of an alleged class of those who purchased common stock of the Company between January 17, 2017 and August 22, 2017, and alleges that the Company and two of its executive officers violated Sections 9, 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On August 24, 2017, a second purported securities class action complaint was filed in the same court against the same defendants (No. 2:17-cv-05016 (JFB)(SIL)) which makes similar allegations and purports to allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. By order dated July 20, 2018, the court consolidated the two actions under docket no. 2:17-cv-04987 and appointed lead plaintiffs for the consolidated action. On September 18, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The amended complaint purports to be brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased the common stock of the Company between November 23, 2016 and April 3, 2018, makes allegations similar to those made in the original complaints, seeks similar relief as the original actions, and alleges that some or all the defendants violated sections 9, 10(b), 20(a), and/or 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. All defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint on March 25, 2019. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated opposition to defendants' motions to dismiss on May 24, 2019.  Defendants filed replies in further support of the motions to dismiss on June 28, 2019.  In a Memorandum Decision and Order dated August 3, 2019, the Court granted defendants' motions to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6) and denied Plaintiffs' request for leave to amend. On August 7, 2019, the Court entered judgment dismissing the case.  Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on August 26, 2019. Plaintiffs/appellants filed their opening brief on the appeal on October 25, 2019.  Defendants/appellees filed their response briefs on November 26 and November 27, 2019, and plaintiffs/appellants filed their reply brief on December 11, 2019. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals (the "Court of Appeals") held oral argument on March 10, 2020 and took the matter under advisement. On April 2, 2020, the Court of Appeals issued a summary order affirming the District Court's decision dismissing Plaintiffs' claims and denying leave to amend. The Court of Appeals was scheduled to issue a mandate making the decision effective on April 23, 2020 if Plaintiffs didn't file a motion for reargument. Due to COVID-19, this deadline was extended to May 7, 2020.  The Plaintiffs did not file a motion for reargument and the Second Circuit issued its mandate on May 14, 2020 upholding the decision of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The Supreme Court has extended the deadline for parties to file cert petitions asking the Court to hear an appeal to 150 days from the date of the lower court judgment. As a result, the deadline for Plaintiffs to file a cert petition with the Supreme Court is now August 30, 2020. The Company and its management believe that the allegations in the complaints are without merit and plan to vigorously defend themselves against the allegations.

Other than the cases mentioned above, the Company is not a party to any material litigation where claims or counterclaims have been filed against the Company other than routine legal proceedings incidental to its business.

Capital Expenditures under the Company's Newbuilding program:

From April to June 2020 the Company entered into a series of transactions with a number of entities affiliated with Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis that led to the purchase of a number of vessels and newbuilding contracts (please see Note 1 and 13). As a result of these transactions, the Company has remaining contractual commitments for the acquisition of its fleet that are non-recourse to the Company as they are guaranteed by Central Mare Inc, a related party affiliated with the family of Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, totaling $209,777, including $31,937, $33,818, $33,818, $55,102 and $55,102 pursuant to newbuilding agreements for Eco Van Nuys (Hull No 2789), Eco Santa Monica (Hull No 2790), Eco Venice Beach (Hull No 2791), Eco West Coast (Hull No 865) and Eco Malibu (Hull No 866) respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash on hand and at banks, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other receivables. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long term loans, accounts payable due to suppliers, amounts due to related parties, accrued liabilities and warrants granted to third parties.


a)
Interest rate risk: The Company is subject to market risks relating to changes in interest rates of debt outstanding under the OFI facility on which it pays interest based on one-month LIBOR plus a margin. In order to manage part or whole of its exposure to changes in interest rates due to this floating rate indebtedness, the Company might enter into interest rate swap agreements in the future.


b)
Credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions with which it places its temporary cash investments.


c)
Fair value:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short term maturities. The Company considers its creditworthiness when determining the fair value of its liquid assets.

The fair value of warrants is determined using the Cox, Ross and Rubinstein Binomial methodology and hence are considered Level 3 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

The Company follows the accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The guidance requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data;
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Interest rate swap agreements
On January 16 and January 21, 2020, as part of the prepayment of the ABN Facility, the Company unwound its two remaining interest rate swaps with ABN Amro bank and realized a loss of $405. On February 21, 2020, as part of the prepayment of the Alpha Bank Facility, the Company unwound its interest rate swap with Alpha bank and realized a loss of $927. In both cases the resulting losses include losses resulting from the discontinuation of hedge accounting applied that have now been transferred from Other comprehensive income to Gain / (Loss) on Derivative financial instruments in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Derivative Financial Instruments not designated as hedging instruments – Class B Warrants:
The major unobservable input in connection with the valuation of the Company's Class B Warrants is the volatility used in the valuation model, which is approximated by using twelve-month daily historical observations of the Company's share price. The annualized twelve-month daily historical volatility that has been applied in the warrant valuation as of June 30, 2020 was 236%. A 5% increase in the volatility applied would lead to an increase of 23.7% in the fair value of the Class B Warrants. The fair value of the Company's Class B Warrants is considered by the Company to be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy since it is derived by unobservable inputs.

Mezzanine Equity

On February 17, 2020 the Company issued 16,004 Series E convertible perpetual preferred stock ("Series E Shares") to Family Trading Inc, as settlement of $14,350 of consideration then outstanding for the purchase of the M/T Eco City of Angels and M/T Eco Los Angeles from Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, $1,621 of Series E Share dividends of the second half of 2019 and $32 of accrued interest on unpaid dividends from 2019. Furthermore the Company issued on June 30, 2020, 900 Series E Shares to Family Trading Inc as settlement of $900 of Series E Share dividends for the first half of 2020.

Pursuant to issuances of Series E Shares, the Company recognized the beneficial conversion feature by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of the Company's common stock per share on the commitment date, to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount of $1,067 on the Series E Shares. The Company has amortized the beneficial conversion in full in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as the beneficial conversion was immediately exercisable and has been recognized as a deemed dividend. As the Company is in an accumulated deficit position, the offsetting amount was amortized as a deemed dividend recorded against additional paid-in-capital.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, but before March 29, 2020, the Company redeemed 21,364 Series E Shares and paid a total of $24,569 to Family Trading Inc, $3,204 of which refers to the 15% redemption premium embedded in each redemption that the Company classified as deemed dividend.

As of June 30, 2020, upon conversion at the Series E Shares Conversion Price ($2.11) of 11,264 Series E Shares outstanding, Family Trading Inc. would receive 5,338,389 common shares. After March 29, 2020 as per the original Series E Shares Statement of Designations all redemptions of Series E Shares will incur a redemption premium equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Liquidation Amount being redeemed instead of fifteen percent (15%). Finally the Company has adjusted the carrying value of the Series E Shares to the maximum redemption amount, resulting in an increase of $2,253, which has been accounted for as deemed dividend.

Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures

New 2020 Joint Venture

On April 24, 2020 the Company acquired from a company affiliated with Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, or the MR Seller, a 50% interest in two vessel owning companies (California 19 Inc. and California 20 Inc.) that owned two scrubber-fitted 50,000 dwt eco MR product tankers, M/T Eco Yosemite Park and M/T Eco Joshua Park respectively for $27,000, representing the Company's share of interest in the fair value of the net assets acquired. Both vessels were delivered in March 2020 to the MR Seller from Hyundai Mipo shipyard of South Korea. The MR Seller had already entered into two joint venture agreements, for the two vessels, each with an equal ownership interest of 50%, with Just-C Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gunvor Group Ltd (the other 50% owner). The abovementioned acquisition was approved by a special committee of the Company's board of directors (the "JV Special Committee"), of which all of the directors were independent and for which the JV Special Committee obtained a fairness opinion relating to the consideration of the transaction from an independent financial advisor. Sale and purchase commissions due to CSI related to these investments amounting to $453 were accounted for as part of the investment.

(Expressed in thousands of United States Dollars – except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)
Out of the purchase price of $27,000, $1,646 and $1,654 were recognized as excess of the purchase price over the underlying net book value ("Basis Differences") for California 19 Inc. and California 20 Inc. respectively, attributed to the value assigned to the attached time charter. These Basis Differences are amortized over the duration of the firm period of the charter (5 years) and their amortization is included as a reduction in Gains in unconsolidated joint ventures. Furthermore $1,963 and $1,963 were also recognized as Basis Differences for California 19 Inc. and California 20 Inc. respectively, attributed to the fair market value over the carrying value of the vessels. These Basis Differences are amortized over the useful life of the vessels (25 years) and their amortization is also included as a reduction in Gains in unconsolidated joint ventures.
On March 12, 2020, California 19 Inc. together with California 20 Inc. entered into a loan agreement with Alpha Bank for a senior debt facility of $37,660 ($18,830 for each vessel). The loan has a term of five years and is payable on maturity via a balloon payment of $18,830 per vessel. The credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00%. The facility carries customary covenants and restrictions, including the covenant that during the life of the facility, the market value of the vessels should be at least 200% of the facility outstanding and any shortfall should be covered by partial prepayments. Vessels are to be valued three times per year, every March, July and December. Provided that there is no breach of the above-mentioned covenant and no event of default has occurred and is continuing or would occur if such dividend distribution would take place, California 19 Inc. and California 20 Inc. may distribute dividends, without any consent from Alpha Bank.
Each of the two product tankers have time charters that commenced in March 2020 with Clearlake Shipping Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Gunvor Group Ltd for a firm term of five years plus two additional optional years.
The Company's exposure is limited to its share of the net assets of California 19 Inc. and California 20 Inc., proportionate to its 50% equity interest in these companies. Generally, the Company will share the profits and losses, cash flows and other matters relating to its investments in California 19 Inc. and California 20 Inc. in accordance with its ownership percentage. The vessels are managed by CSI, pursuant to management agreements. The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures using the equity method since it has joint control over the investment.
In the six months ended June 30, 2020 California 19 Inc. and California 20 Inc. didn't declare nor pay any dividends.
Recognition of Gains in unconsolidated joint ventures for the 2020 Joint Venture for the six months ended June 30, 2020, is summarized below:
